Bags can be found in many different forms, styles, fabrics and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to have a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, think about them in two ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we'll categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags come in many different shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, note pad, cosmetics and more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and outside. These bags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are very practical and possibly the most common bag carried by females.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of handbag that doesn't have handles. It could be carried in your hand or tucked below your arm. Through the entire history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often reserved for evenings. Clutches can take your keys, driver's license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in the past svereal years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are made the same as a typical clutch but they're bigger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches may be soft-bodied, framed or even hard-cased. They come in variety of shapes and materials, including silk, patent leather and sequined fabrics. A clutch can be closed with a fold-over flap, top closure, zipper, push lock, drawstring or any number other types of closures.
HANDHELD BAG
Obviously, these handbags are made to be held by hand. They feature a small handle. They're not intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They are normally smaller compared to a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These casual bags are usually made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and frequently have one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great for the beach, outdoor actions or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags may also be often called crossbody bags due to how they are worn. These bags are wonderful as you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag appear in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and travelers.
BACKPACK
Another bag which is popular among students could be the backpack. These types of bags have two straps and are intended as worn lying on your back. Backpacks are perfect for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. There're normally made of nylon, but they also may also be canvas or leather. Backpacks will also be great for traveling, hiking, camping and various activities.
The style of handbag you decide will depend on exactly what you need carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Lots of women offer an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special events or circumstances. Other women own dozens of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, matching it with their outfit, destination and mood.
